Went to chemotherapy floor by 9am. No waiting today so that's a good news already. My nurse is Ms. Bello. She is very very very pleasant. She explained to me everything that's going to happen during my chemo sessions. She was gentle, funny and very professional AND she is Filipina!!! YEY! I'm just super happy 'coz i don't have to ask the same questions over and over because it's in a very fast english. At least i can use my own dialect. In other words communication was way better hehehe.Plus did i mention i'm Filipino and she's Filipina? hehehe
Anyway, my medications were consists of 4 (thousand-dollars-worth each) drugs:Adriamycin (doxorubicin),Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine. Generally known as ABVD, these concoction of very powerful drugs are the cancer assassins! But just like any war, there are a lot of casualties - my poor healthy cells! BUT they are my necessary evil. I just have to know how to work with them. One of the medications was very scary looking. It was BLOODY RED. I just can't imagine that thing going in my body. But thank goodness my nurse reminded me of cherry flavored kool aides. It does sound better than blood i think? hehe So to sum the whole day, i came in 9 a.m. and went home 3:30pm. It seemed quick since i have my mom, dad and one of my very close friends throughout the procedure. Thank you guys!!! :) And oh! they served free lunch!!! hahaha tuna or turkey and cheese sandwich, apple and milk.
Here's a couple of pics we took inside, though it wasn't really allowed..sssshhhhh
